Eat a banana half an hour before you go on. Contains natural betablockers. No shit! Also if you get in to a routine with it it can help nerves...familiarity and all that pish.

hopefully you've oriented yourself with the venue's mixer prior to your set. my first time out they had a fuckin' Rane rotary mixer, horrible for drum and bass, perfect for house/trance. i spun the former. plus the mixer was completely new to me. shit worked itself out after a few tracks were dropped and the night went well, but i've seen many fuckups by guys who don't got their shit together beforehand, anyhow have fun tonight and remember, don't play music, make music.
::edit:: oh yeah and only smoke a bl.....ack and mild if you normally smoke em...otherwise you'll just be all retarded and shit, pulling the rekkids off the wrong deck.

i mean dont just mix break to break....mix harmonically, overlay basslines, beat-juggle, etc., there are too many people out there these days who claim to be true turntablists, yet when they jump on the 1s and 2s, all they bring is song after song, instead of one continuous journey. thats what i mean by make music, dont play it. have a blast!

I did great , one almost un-noticable mistake. very small turnout though . I live in a small town full of country lovers.

sorta, club/breaks. Alot of my stuff has real instruments like a real bassline and guitar, and then throw in some hard EDM beats to it. Tryin' to keep the energy going. I have some DnB, but since they werent even up for club, I doubt they wanna hear DnB haha.
